Disney previously developed its billion-dollar Frozen franchise as a loosely-based iteration of the tale. Moreover, the connection between the two stories deepens as The Snow Queen appears as Anna and Elsa’s maternal aunt in the fourth season of ABC’s Once Upon A Time.
Details on the upcoming adaptation remain scarce. However, Kristin Burr (Christopher Robin) is on-board to produce the feature. Furthermore, there is no word on whether the film will eventually release theatrically or on the DIsney+ streaming service.
The Snow Queen will join Mulan 2, the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, and the Percy Jackson series in various stages of development.
